rkbabang Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I just bought a used iPhone 5S in early September and activated it with Cricket Wireless. I pay $35/month for the basic plan (its $40 if you don't put your account on autopay with a credit card) for unlimited talk/text (in the US) and 2.5Gbs of LTE data. You can get more data and international text/calling for a little more. After you reach your data limit you can still use unlimited data for free but at very slow speeds. It is on the AT&T network (Cricket is owned by AT&T). After 3 months I'm still happy with it, no problems. For families they give a $10/mo discount for each phone after your first. EDIT: I was just looking at the group discount, it is better than that, it is $10 off for your 2nd phone, $20 for your 3rd, $30 for 4th and $40 for your 5th. So basically for the basic plan with 1 phone you pay $35/mo (with auto pay) for 2 phones it is $70/mo (you don't get autopay discount, just the $10 group discount), with 3 phones $90/mo, and if you have either 4 or 5 phones you pay $100/month, you get the 5th phone for free. Also I haven't done any referrals yet, but I think if you sign up from this link we will both get a $25 credit: https://refer.cricketwireless.com/6M30HaY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgis Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 T-mobile. Global roaming for cheap FTW (edit2: I think Google fi uses T-mobile's cheap global roaming). I think I am paying ~$80 with all taxes/etc. included for 2 lines with very different plans (not family plan). I thought that the plans were $50 and $20 (that's limited minutes/no data), so I guess $10 is taxes or something. :) Google fi is great but they only support Nexus 6P (edit: and Nexus 5X) and you have to buy it. If you're in the market for new phone, it might be a good choice. Otherwise, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I wish we had stuff like Project FI and Cricket in Canada. Our wireless carriers are starting to get cheaper, but we're still pretty expensive. I'm at $49 per month with Koodo, the discount arm of Telus. That get me unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB of data. I used to be at 750 minutes/750MB for $44, but I found myself getting too close to minute and data limits. The $5 extra per month is just gravy. I'll probably switch to another Telus-owned company called Public Mobile at some point. I can get unlimited province-wide minutes (meaning unlimited calls in my home province from any Canadian number, I'd have to pay a roaming fee or buy an add-on if I traveled), unlimited texting and 4GB of data over three months for something like $35/month. I'm stuck on Koodo for at least the next three months, since I just bought the phone. If I don't stay three months I have to give back the freebie $100 Walmart gift card I got for switching.

stahleyp Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I use Republic Wireless. It's $10 a month for unlimited talk and text. You can had a half gb for $7.50 per month. If you don't use it all, they'll refund it pro rata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogermunibond Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I use Republic Wireless too but there's one big down side and that's the Sprint network. Coverage is spotty outside of main thoroughfares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
